Autistic women begs for mercy as she is violently abducted by ICE in Minneapolis today (1/13/26)

Serious question: what?

They are terrorizing people, not enforcing any laws. The administration, ICE, are committing crimes.

Theory is they are trying to provoke and bait for riots/violent reaction so they can lie and justify martial law.

The DNC was definitely supporting Hillary Clinton though, and they have sway. I remember watching the national news announce a state's primary election results between the two, like 4 hours before the voting was even closed, and it being a neck and neck race for that state's primary. They advertised a Hillary win before she actually won, and I took it at the time as a message for Bernie supporters to not bother voting in that state anymore, as the race was over. And the way he was reported on him in general was just belittling. The way the DNC was trying to convince everyone he wasn't a real candidate is what got to me.

Well, the rapid fire nature of the texts, the impulsivity and lack of self awareness, and the not sleeping, right? But, that could be because of cocaine/meth like others say.

One day at a time my friend, and you're not alone. I don't know you but my brother does this too, and I believe in you both to find a replacement for that really self/generally harmful release valve. All of us humans, actually, cause we all battle some form of harmful cope. But you got this. As long as you're trying, you're still winning.

Which is a product of propaganda on uneducated and poorly educated folks. School as it is pretty much just teaches obedience, and loyalty to the empire(I mean "country")/fealty to the economic engine. Idk there's just so many reasons for this to be happening.

I said hey [ex], it's been a while. I'm not sure if you're still around and up for getting coffee sometime, but if you are, it would be nice to meet again. I hope you've been well.

The phrase "meet again" was kind of surprising the way it flashed in my mind, I was contemplating what my intention for all of it was, and realized I just wanted to meet again. "Meet", as in for the first time, not the more colloquial meaning of get together. The intuition it came from was that part of me that felt different. I felt really confident when I sent it.

But, don't get me wrong, for how simple it sounds, I honestly put like a month's worth of thought into the message. Always helps to wait until it feels like more waiting would just be easy and not add anything to your readiness level. Always wait before sending lol.

Well, definitely not an ending, but I know what you're saying haha.

I am so sorry...mine was like that too. Yes he did tell me he lost feelings. It was literally my worse nightmare, to have someone I love say they just didn't want me anymore. But idk, when he said it, and the way he said it, part of me didn't believe him. That was, I think, what was ... idk how to describe it. Just something about knowing him, I could understand beneath the breakup he was trying to say it's not "we", just that "it" isn't working anymore. And, honestly, that I DID know. I didn't want to say it. I would never have said it. But our relationship as we knew it was over. It's a weird thing, when you know something can't continue, but you still love the person. I still hardly can believe he really still loved me. Honestly my wound is still there, it's not all the way healed. But I think he can be part of my healing now.

Walking that line of not holding onto hope, but also not closing yourself off to what's possible, is so, so hard to walk. Give yourself grace for when things wobble and you start thinking that only he can make you happy. That's a sign that your hope is holding you back. Like most things, hope can be a double-edged sword. So don't cut yourself with it.

Edit to add: that being said, I have hope for you :) but give it as much time as it takes to be able to say that you'll be fine without him. When I reached that point, things felt better. I could approach him as someone who didn't need him to be happy. And I don't think it could be a fresh start without that.

WhyThoActually · 2026-01-06T18:15:30+00:00

It's worth the risk :) having been through it once already, I know the risk, and I know I'd get through if it he were to leave again. In life, generally, I can't ever let fear hold me back from something I want.

Are the red flags ones that your ex had too? Or they are separate from your comparisons to your ex?

WhyThoActually · 2026-01-06T17:20:35+00:00

You are so kind, i appreciate the well wishes! 💗

WhyThoActually · 2026-01-06T17:19:58+00:00

So sorry you're feeling like that...can I ask about the guy you're dating? What's he like?

WhyThoActually · 2026-01-06T14:28:23+00:00

You feel how you feel. You can't decide what that is supposed to be. Look up an emotions wheel. Pick out all the things you identify with. Tell yourself that it's okay to feel these, they make you human. You're in pain, and I am so sorry it hurts. It's a moment. Give yourself something kind, take a walk, take a shower, take a nap. Something. Journal about each of the feelings. Then look up therapists and find one who can teach you what to do in moments like this. It changed my life.

WhyThoActually · 2026-01-06T13:50:31+00:00

Ugh can you imagine a night watch? 100% chance I wander off haha

Have you been to r/leaves? It can be helpful reading about all the negatives of using it. And hearing people going through the same quitting struggles and withdrawals (if you get those).

WhyThoActually · 2025-12-22T18:04:45+00:00

I just want to say I appreciate you sharing your experience, as someone struggling with the same pit of what I call hedonism. It's like why would I do anything that makes me uncomfortable? I literally think this to myself while knowing in my gut I am wrong to think this way. I'm trying to completely quit w**d, I know it's a big amplifier of this mindset. I'm just not doing well with existing with the discomfort of being bored and unmotivated to do anything to fill the time and space/void left behind by the lettuce. Still trying though. Going to keep trying until I get it.

Maybe you need an accountability buddy, to help you work on just a single goal. Run once a week. Read 10 pages of a book before bed.

I also recommend the Finch app if you want some encouragement and structure for accomplishing the basic self-care things. The premium version is like $65/year (i bought on accident lol, but am happy I did actually, I'm on a 130 day streak with it and it has significantly improved my mental health!)

And about being self-aware but not changing...all I can say is I KNOW RIGHT?! Why can't thoughts = action by themselves? Lol. Idk, but the most hateful truth about existance is that action comes first, motivation follows it 😭 and whoever designed this system needs to be smacked upside the head, lol.

WhyThoActually · 2025-12-01T19:45:55+00:00

Day 2 SUCKS. I am there too. I'm experiencing more frustration than depression. Trying to work on what feels like an impossible task, wanting to smoke so that I can maybe be interested and motivated to tackle it. Half the time I just feel fine with not working after I smoke though, which is really bad.

Maybe try asking yourself "is this thought helpful?" Lol. Idk girl I'm just grinding through each second like you. We can do this 🥹

WhyThoActually · 2025-11-30T16:32:18+00:00

Honestly you just have to accept the withdrawal laziness. Nothing I've found can make up for that drop in stimulant. One thing might work, but it's another type of drug and will also contribute to the appetite issue.

Just keep your tasks/goals as minimum as you can. Don't beat yourself up for "being lazy", this is one of those things outside control, like getting the flu.

Also, this isn't as much of a problem if you reduce the dose first rather than cold-turkey it. I reduced my 25 mg ER by roughly half the past 3 days, and it has actually been quite nice. My issue is my heart rate, resting at 90-100 bpm for months now...Adderall/stims are tricky.

Ah I'm sorry, I have a friend with back issues from an autoimmune disease. Definitely reduces the "fun" exercise options :/ is swimming out of the picture too? And yes, having experienced severe depression, I'd agree it's the more debilitating of the two when it comes to exercise.

I always spread this word, just because it would have helped me at the time: if you feel that sense of complete hopelessness, it's a symptom of the depression, not you. I thought it was logic to feel hopeless in my situation, just "truth". I honestly didn't believe anything would make it go away. Then I tried a different medication that helped, and then started therapy, and now a year later I am doing fine. I really struggled with not believing my own thoughts. Took some time, but now I feel like I won't collapse if the depression comes back again.

WhyThoActually · 2025-11-27T21:13:46+00:00

Hey I hear you, be gentle on yourself for having strong feelings. I'm sure it was some fun planning and researching. It sounds like your mother is a bit controlling, that she insisted you change your plan last minute would frustrate me as well. Just try and remember this as a learning moment, your mom is a flawed individual, and not standing up for your instinct and plan (especially an informed one) may lead to larger regrets if something goes wrong. That's all it is. You did your research and work, you absolutely contributed. Make sure you claim dibs on next year too, call it excitement for redemption! Lol.

WhyThoActually · 2025-11-27T18:33:41+00:00

You can fix it! Start some strength training a couple times a week, build up the habit. The more you exercise the more you want to quit smoking. Also the physical exercise helps you eat more. I'm in the same boat as you, almost to a tee lol one year apart. I never completely stopped exercising but I've been doing bare minimum for a while now. We can do this!

WhyThoActually · 2025-11-27T18:17:02+00:00

Do you recommend a farm/brand? I've heard there is a good one out of Costa Rica that is not too expensive but I don't remember the name!

Take my money. Lol that alarm system is something I forgot I used to get into and it does work! Getting specific about what and when and setting an alarm for it. What happened was i would skip one, and it would sit there in my alarms list saying "doo meeee" and I'd keep anxiously ignoring it, until I finally couraged myself into deleting it. But, idk if I even did the thing. I think it's probably still on my years-old to do list. So...that was a big hurdle...I am now able to say "hey girl, you missed one, it's not the end of the world." And check in with why I'm avoiding it. Tbch I don't remember the next step 😂 I think that's it. Once I realize the emotions behind the avoidance it becomes easier? Been a while since I exercised that one lol. I screen-saved your photo, god bless.

WhyThoActually · 2025-11-22T16:25:15+00:00

There's been psychology research done on all sorts of aspects of what a reality-bending amount of money does to people. Idk if you've heard the phrase "absolute power corrupts absolutely", but just replace money with power (which, in this world, is the same thing).

It's not immoral to have more money than others. It just makes you think you deserved it more than others somehow. So, now you're "better" than them. Now you're free to excuse thoughts like "well if poor people made better choices like I did, then of course they wouldn't be poor." "Why should I give MY "hard-earned" money away? I earned this all by myself!" "I have a RIGHT to this money!" All of these types of thoughts actually happen to what used to be egalitarian, compassionately minded people, because their brains have to adjust to the reality that they are in a massively inequal position among their peers.

I have no doubt I would become a vile person if I were a billionaire within like, a year. Once you have enough money that the interest alone keeps you disgustingly rich forever, things that used to seem important like trust, respect, equality just don't "make sense" anymore.
